	i guess i should qualify that.  the real problem is that the
	bios should present (not that i'm a pc expert) a: as a: even if
	it's connected by two tin cans and a a piece of string.

indeed, some of them do exactly that. the problem comes once you've
used that facility to load something which can't do bios calls, it can
no longer find the drive it was loaded from.
